one reason, they never leave you alone, to much noise, fills cameras up w/ 500 pics of them in 2 days, eat everything you put out or plant, and just annoying. 2 spots i hunted last year that i seen 7-15 deer a day -this year 2 does in 3 days of hunting, all known(by me) deer paths completly destroyed by the same cows. i hate cows now and never did in the past

I just got back from black kettle and had a run in with some cows in the dark. This is the first time they hav been in the area when ive hunted it. While walking in they were acting agressive. I was worried enough that i went a different route. Once the sun was up they would just push away from me.

I thought that the deer would have left the area but we saw 1 buck and 3 does on the 1/4 section. I brought home one of the does. I would rather the cows have not been there but it all worked out fine

I don't know about ya'll but my cows pay the bills, and if the bills are paid I can afford to hunt. I do understand about them being problems, we rotate the cows out of the good hunting during deer season.

Yes. most of the time they are w/ in 150-2000 yards, but have also been 2-3 feet away. They eventually move on after they realize I'm not feeding them .. or maybe I stink of danger :)

I stayed in the house today till three p.m. because the interwebz said the deer weren't moving in the morning and there was a ball game on.
The first thing I did was feed them datblame cows and I explained a thing or two. I said, I know how you are. I been readin about you sorry sonsabitches on the innerwebs. You better not foller me and put my very life in danger. If I wind up a greasy spot on the pasture, I ain't never forgiving you.
Stupid cows!

I agree most cows won't charge you.... But I use the word most loosely! I have been chased by quite a few!

I know a few ranchers around here that will use a few rank ones to keep unwanted hunters and fisherman off their property.

Take caution when you see that sign saying.... My bull can make the fence line in 3.2 seconds....CAN YOU?

We have hunted places with cows...and had no problems.... You just have to keep them out of the food plots and feeders.

Cows don't bother me near as bad during deer season since I am usually in a treestand. But I do NOT like huntin round them during turkey season. They seem to looooove turkey decoys. They always get curious and come check out my turkey decoys. Shew them away and they just go out a few yards and stand there staring.
